Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1987, publiée 74ème session CIT (1987)

Convention (n° 94) sur les clauses de travail (contrats publics), 1949 - Guinée (Ratification: 1966)

The Committee recalls there are no specific regulations or legislation concerning public contracts. It further notes the information contained in the report to the effect that there is an increase in the number of public contracts, which makes legislation applying the Convention increasingly necessary. The Government also indicates that the establishment of a specialised office may imply that such regulations and legislation could be implemented in the near future. In this connection, the Committee recalls that under Article 2 of the Convention read in conjunction with Article 1(1)(c), public contracts concluded between the Government and private enterprises shall include clauses ensuring to the workers concerned under these contracts, wages and conditions of labour which are not less favourable than those established for work of the same character in the trade or industry concerned. The Committee therefore hopes that the necessary steps will be taken in the near future to ensure the inclusion of these clauses in all public contracts, and consequently to give effect to the Convention.
